We must never forget the darkness that was the Holocaust.

But let us also remember the rays of light that shone through that darkness.

Sir Nicholas Winton, the man who saved 669 children from the Nazis.

There are few people alive today who were in Auschwitz and most of them were children at the time. It is vitally important that we capture their stories.

I just saw an article that said a disturbing percentage of young people in France no nothing about the Holocaust. That certainly allows anti-Semitism to flourish.

“What do your grandchildren know about the Holocaust?” Is thata good question to ask?

Saudi clerics visit Auschwitz

This is a political stunt, at least in part. But it's a good stunt, and a good start.
